RTR or CS Wheel Recommendation?
 
I will make this simple as possible, please give me recommendations for wheel size and offset, models/brand of wheels you would use for running RTR/CS in autox.

Largest street tire I would run is 245 and don't think the OEM wheels would pull this off well. R-comp would be 215/225 tops.

Thank you and have a wildly exotic day.

Aren't RPF-1's the go to for pretty much every class of racing for people on a budget?

17x7 +42 RPF1 w/ 225/45 Dunlop Z2's or BFGoodrich Rivals for RTR

You can't change wheel width/diameter and max offset change is +6 so this is the best setup to go with. You could go 235/40 Z2's as some have done as well, up to you.

It took a long time for them to come out but the RPF-1 is the wheel to get unless you don't like the style or silver/black wheels. They are +42 offset which is the RTR/CS minimum.

Kosei has the K1-TS and the K4R as well but you might need a spacer to get those to fit with wider tires.

I run a 245/40/17 Hoosier A6 on 17x7 +42 rims. That is "the tire" to use in CS.

235 is about the max you would want to run with street tires.

Ok aside from the weight any reason you guys are going RPF1s over OEM?

Other than that I have the answer I was looking for thanks you!!!

SVThis, any pics mounted?

Weight is the best reason, especially on low HP cars. I run 235/40 ZII'2 on 7" RPF/1's also. They are a ton lighter.

Weight and if you plan on using larger than 235 it might be close fitting in the front, if you are using the crash bolts. I have 225 BFG Rivals on the stock rims and there isn't much room between the tire and spring perch. The 42 offset helps with that.
